khwabon ki tarah goya bikhar jaenge hum bhi
chup-chap kisi roz guzar jaenge hum bhi

hum jaise kai log chale jate hain har roz
kya hoga kisi roz jo mar jaenge hum bhi

hum log nahin kuchh bhi magar lauh-e-zama par
ek naqsh koi apna sa dhar jaenge hum bhi

odhe hue hain ruh pe hum daghon bhari khak
jab utregi ye khak nikhar jaenge hum bhi

ek aaina aisa ki jo baatin bhi dikha de
aaega muqabil to sanwar jaenge hum bhi

rahna hai kise khwab si duniya mein hamesha
'kashif' kisi din laut ke ghar jaenge hum bhi
